Built by a family, for families. Our company has roots like any other. We started from one family?s question: Why? The Carmichael family looked at traditional care facilities for their son (and brother). They came away with questions: Why can?t people with disabilities live the lives they choose? Why can?t they stay in their own homes and communities? This question turned into an idea. And this idea became a mission. The mission grew, branching out into a company?GT Independence?that serves tens of thousands of people across the United States.
